The reviewer used a Thermalright Spitfire so it's not stock cooling. Oh, and the ambient was a few degrees above 0 Celsius

I don't think AMD is going to release a magic driver to boost performance. They are notorious for having shoddy drivers.
Unless their new president personally fires their whole software team and hires better software engineers, they will continue to have excellent hardware that is saddled with inferior drivers.

driver issues go back and forth dude for both companies

and honestly driver issues i havent had nor my customers since before cat 4.3 were launched

Good for you, i've been delaing with flickering secondary monitors since the 5-series launch. it took AMD 6 months to get rid of cursor issues on multi-monitor 5-series, even. Drivers issues DO persist on either side, and you're very fortunate to not run into any no matter what brand of GPU you use.

Inside beta drivers, tested with 7970 which will be the base of a 12.4 driver.
This driver has not available yet for users.
It might be AMD will release beta performance driver in next 1 or 2 weeks, the final will arrive in april.

So, you're saying that AMD has no respect for the faithful followers who bought with hard earned cash their high-end cards and deliberately did not release a driver for the 7970/50 cards just to launch it in time to spoil Nvidia's expected success with Fermi?

Do you know that as we speak the cards are probably benched against the GTX680? Do you think that the reviewers already have this magical driver and what makes you think that NV will not release an equally magical driver in the close future?

you have to make example with a 6970 vs gtx 580 not a a gtx 570,but why they dont make the benchmark with same clock on the 7970? this is what i wanna know ,nvidia make the "stock" clore at 1000mhz after amd comes out with preoc card with 1000mhz = its same like make a benchmark with an oc card vs stock clock card, if you are NVIDIAFANBOY its not my fault, i wanna see real benchmark with the card out not make from nvidia with stupid result manipolated,is like the benchmark making from amd with the fx series vs the first 6 core intel , please use the mind not the eyes for think is true only thing you see

Once upon a time the game developers were pushing the boundaries of graphic quality and performance capability of graphic cards and then Xbox360 and PS3 came up and than the progress stopped.
I don`t care if they invented eternity without software hardware is nothing. There is not a game that can`t be maxed out with three generation older graphic card.

no. Battlefield could be pushed even harder with better optimizations.

BF3 is already optimized to high hell. It runs better than most DX11 games and looks gorgeous. BF3 on low still looks better than most other DX11 games on high, while giving a comperable or better frame rate.

And disclaimer: those are off TH site directly. Personally I think their reviews are a bit off always. Perf/w difference between tahiti and gk104 is probably smaller with large game selection and higher resolution.
